The Cringer file is merely an animated GIF, unfortunately I've not found a site that will enable a forum friendly SWF version to be posted, also, I've still got another 8 frames to produce (technically there's a lot more than that, but they are mainly just the same frames doubled up) and the Cringer animation is done... then I just have to do the background and lightning effects!

OK I got a little bored doing Cringer and the "I HAVE THE POWEEERRRRR!!!!" sequence seemed a little bit easier to to than "by the power or Grayskull"... and is proving reasonably easy to do too, though whilst the 161 frames required to complete the sequence might seem like a lot, much of it is made of repeated frames (big shocker there), so there's about half that in real terms. So, here below is a sneak peek of IHTP:

Glad you like, they are taking some time to do, but I think it will be worth it in the end! Also if interested, here is 'Filmation Presents' remastered, with sound: http://youtu.be/qwe8fewRto8 I cleaned up the audio a bit, but I will remaster the sound properly later.

Right then, below is the link to my short preview video for my digital recreation of the He-Man intro sequence. I know it's short and there a heck of a lot missing, but it'll all come together in the end! Anywayz, I hope you like some of what I have done so far.

A fair bit... 30 frames for the 'Filmation Presents' sequence, 32 for the He-Man and the...' title sequence, 32 frames for the Adam 'Fabulous secret powers..' sequence and technically 60 frames for the 'I have the power' He-Man transformation sequence, though just 9 of those frames actually featured He-Man, the rest were just of the clouds rushing in the background sadly, 23 frames for Cringer being transformed (still have a few left to go) and of course, just the one (partially finished) background image of Grayskull. Always seems to take longer to do things when you don't have the professional tools to do the job, but I'm enjoying things

Below is an update of one of my earlier pieces, as there is a lot of detail needed to be changed and added for my piece, it's taking sometime to get it all done, but I'm very close, just the left rock and tower to go. Though as we all know, there's two different Grayskull fronts, one with the jaw-bridge down and the other up, both are used in the intro, I finished the one where it was down a good while back, which just left the one with it shut and I have finished doing that a few minutes ago... annoyingly, that now means I have to add a bit more to the ground, so I have just left below a compilation image of both versions:

Wow, has it really been that long since my last post... I'm a naughty boy aren't I?

Anyway, I went back to the sequence where he shouts "I HAVE THE POWERRRRRRRRRRRRR!, and started doing the next frames, as you can see, I decided to abandon the light and shade, but this is only temporary, I just felt like doing so was taking up time that I could spend on just getting He-Man drawn! I was right, in the space of a week or so (on/off), I had managed to do 12 frames, in comparison to the previous 13 that took well over a month to do, the below pic you can see the change:

So far, the file for this sequence is just under 400mb in size and I'm only 1/5 done

*EDIT 2/6/14*
A few more frames have been added, thankfully all I have to animate for a fair few frames is He-Man's mouth moving:

Wowie, this took forever, but I have finished with the animating of He-Man for this sequence, now I just need to add the shine and shade, along with the light effects, but essentially, this sequence is done, and hopefully, I can get another preview video out before long. Though for now, enjoy:

Before I forget, I did remove one frame from this sequence, as after constantly playing back the original opening, I noticed that when he was saying "THE POWERRRRR!!!", the movement of the mouth was out of sync with the audio. That frame was taken out, but in order to keep the frames consistent, I added an extra one at the end and everything seems fine now, the visuals look synced to the audio!

Again, a long time since my last update on this, but, I've gone back to Cringer again, just 6 more frames to complete, then it'll just be a case of enlarging for the remaining 18 for this part of the sequence, and finally, I'll be getting onto his Battle-Cat roar sequence, for which I will be taking out the "Raarrrhhh, and I have the power TOOOOO!" lip sync bit and syncing his mouth movements to the sound of his roars!

OK then, the bit where Cringer is being turned into Battlecat is done, just the smoke background and lightning effects to do and I can get onto his Battlecat roar scene! With that said, I have gone over to Adam's "By the power of Greyskull" bit, which this is almost done as well, the lightning effects is the only thing to worry about.

As I have a lot of this done now, I was thinking of another preview video, though I'm not sure if I should, or if anybody actually want to see another preview, as I was hoping to have had the whole thing done before last years out, but a lot of my time had been consumed by another project, can't and won't say what, that's between me and the other parties involved, please don't ask, though if one person asks for a new preview vid, I'll do it!

OK, another little snippet for y'all to see, not 100% complete, I still have to do the shade and shine on Zoar and the Sorceress, but the frames are done and the animation looks good! As you'll notice, I have added a little exterior glow to the transformation, just to give it that extra touch:

Well, it wasn't asked for, though as it only took a second to do, I have uploaded a new preview of my digital recreation of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe intro sequence.. not completed of course, but at least it's now the entire sequence and not a shortened cut version like the previous preview video!
